Problem solving in a school election, 3/4 of the students vote. there are 1464 votes. find the number of students. there are a total of students.

A simple way to turn this into an equation is by replacing the words with letters: 

1464B = 3/4 S

Then you have to remove the 3/4 from the right side of the equation.  You can do this by dividing both sides by 3/4: 

1464 / 3/4 = S

Then you have to do the sum: 

  1464 

 / 3

= 0488

    488 

    X  4

= 1952

There are 1952 students.
